Flavor Text

: It ensnares prey by extending arms made of vines. Losing arms to predators does not trouble it.
: Its arms are made of plants that bind themselves to things. They grow back right away if cut.
: When it remains still, it appears to be a large shrub. Unsuspecting prey that wander near get ensnared by its vines.
: Its vines grow so profusely that, in the warm season, you can’t even see its eyes.
